Driving
Q VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces.
Provides cooperative control of the
Multi Terrain ABS, Active TRC, VSC
and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.
Q Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer sway
by selectively applying brake pressure
for individual wheels and reducing
driving torque when trailer sway is
detected.
Q Active TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads
Q Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an
uphill
Q EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce
the amount of effort needed to turn the
steering wheel
Q VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Inte-
grated Management)
Provides integrated control of the
Multi Terrain ABS, brake assist, Active
TRC, VSC, hill-start assist control and
EPS systems. Helps to maintain vehicle
stability when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controlling the
brakes, engine output and steering
assist.
Q AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspen-
sion System)
The damping force of the shock
absorbers are independently con-
trolled for the 4 wheels according to
factors including the road surface con-
ditions and driving operation, contrib-
uting toward enhancing smooth
driving comfort and superior stability,
and helping to maintain vehicle pos-
ture.
In addition, the damping force can be
changed by selecting the drive mode
with the driving mode select
(oP.407), and driving comfort can be
ensured during off-road driving by set-
ting the four-wheel drive control switch
to L4. (oP.416)
Q Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied suddenly,
the stop lights automatically flash to
alert the vehicle behind.
Q Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor detects a
collision and the system operates, the
brakes and brake lights are automati-
cally controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the possibility
of further damage due to a secondary
collision.
